Chapter 37 Conspiracy and Trick
Returning to the barracks, Liu Qi ordered people to recruit people to come.
Not long after, the three Gan Ning brothers came together, and then Wang Yi came in white armor. Then Zhao Lei came in with a majestic face, and Lv Jie came behind him.
Liu Qi looked at the people and briefly explained the situation just now: "Just now, I checked the surroundings of Linxiang City with Brother Yuan Zhi. Zhang Xian built Linxiang City more majestic than You County, and the surrounding walls were reinforced and thickened. Some places are even watered with molten iron. The moat outside the city has also been dug and expanded. And there are elite soldiers around the city, which are closely defended. There are crossbows every few meters. Now what should we do as soon as our army arrives in Linxiang City? What do you have any opinions?
Liu Qi looked at several people expectantly after saying that. But it turned out to make him a little disappointed. The people in front of him looked at me, but I didn't see you. And Ma Zhong and others were also a little surprised. The generals decided how to attack the direct generals of the city and then gave them orders to implement it. He had never seen Liu Qi discuss with his subordinates like this, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
Liu Qi had no choice but to look at Xu Shu and hoped that Xu Shu could have some opinions.
Xu Shu once discussed this problem with Liu Qi, and Liu Qi said that he could brainstorm and make a wiser decision. San Ran felt that this was detrimental to the dignity of the general, but he did not object. Now seeing Liu Qi embarrassed, he said, "Linxiang City is strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack. I think the general should lead the enemies in the city out of the city. It is much easier to destroy them outside the city than inside the city. What's more, disintegrate the enemy from the city and cause internal chaos. Take advantage of the chaos to open the city gate and defeat the rebellion in one fell swoop.
Liu Qi nodded. The two methods mentioned by Xu Shu were the most direct and effective methods, but it was difficult to lead Zhang Xian out of the city. From time to time, it was to show that the fool built such a strong city to fight against Liu Qi and would not easily leave the city. Compared with this method, it is easier to disintegrate the enemy from the inside. Zhang Xian's army, which wants to control Changsha, must seize military power from some people. Naturally, it is a potential enemy in the village. In addition, Zhang Xian has been a Taishou in Changsha for so many years. It is impossible that there is no enemy, and these people can also be used.
But the second method requires a good understanding of the situation in Linxiang City. Now Liu Qihei has no information about this, so he can only try the first method first.
"I want to go to the city tomorrow to invite Zhang Xian to see how he reacts. When I saw Zhang Xian today, although he angered this person, he will understand that this is my radical method as long as he goes back and thinks about it. It's hard to decide whether there will be a battle tomorrow. Liu Qi said.
Liu Qi explained something before he let everyone leave, leaving only Xu Shu.
"Brother Yuan Zhi, how can you make everyone say what they think?" Liu Qi was a little distressed, and everyone's reaction just now was beyond his expectation.
"General, I still think that doing so will damage the general's majesty. We should know the law of the army since childhood. If the general questions the general's decision, he will definitely hesitate to implement it." Xu Shu thought for a moment and still said the doubts in his heart.
Liu Qi smiled and said, "Brother Yuan Zhi is too worried. Now it doesn't have to be so troublesome for Brother Yuan to give me advice. But in the future, once these generals guard one side, are there any people around them who can ask and how to make a decision. In this way, everyone can always think of a good way together. As for the matter that damages the majesty, the general just came up with some ideas. The final decision is that the general will not damage the general's majesty.
"The general is thoughtful and admired from a long-term perspective." Xu Shu was really impressed when he heard Liu Qi's words. According to what Liu Qi did, he would be able to resist the enemy in every county and county in the future. It is no longer like now that it depends only on the wins and losses of the generals to determine the victory of the war.
"What does Brother Yuan think of Zhang Xian?" Liu Qi is a little uncertain about Zhang Xian. How can a person who has been a Taishou for so many years be so easily provoked?
"This envy is indeed strange. Judging from his performance, he is indeed a reckless person, but he has been an official for so many years. How can he not even control his emotions? Unless he did it on purpose to confuse the general. Xu Shu also didn't understand.
"Has there ever been news from Changsha?" Liu Qi asked. At present, they know too little about the situation in Linxiang City. In order to deal with Liu Qi, this Xian closed the city gate early. Only the army needs to enter and exit. Outsiders still know about the situation in Linxiang a few days ago.
"Not yet, but there will be news today and tomorrow." Xu Shu shook his head.
"Then try Zhang Xian's bottom tomorrow. Will you be a capable person in Changsha for a while? Liu Qi smiled and said that he was also very curious about Huang Zhong and Yang Ling, Liu Qi, to see if they were as powerful as the legend. Now there are Ma Zhong and Gan Ning around him, so they are very worried about them from time to time.
Linxiang City
In the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Xian and Zhang Yi discussed things in the study.
Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Xian from time to time with doubts. He had been with his father for several years and knew his father's temper very well. In his impression, his father had never been as angry as today. Even if his younger brother was caught, his face was just a little gloomy. Therefore, he was very puzzled.
Zhang Xian looked up at Zhang Yi's doubts about Zhang Yi and asked, "Are you wondering why your father is furious today?"
When Zhang Yi saw his father, he didn't dare to hide it and said honestly, "Yes. Why did my father get angry today? Is it because of Liu Qi?" It is not surprising that Zhang Xian thought so when he met Liu Qi.
Zhang Xian smiled and said, "It's true that Liu Qi did this because he is his father. That's to show Liu Qi that he despises his father, so that he is more likely to make mistakes, and the more chances we have to win."
"But father, there are many people who know about his father's personality in Changsha. Can he hide it from Liu Qi?"
"Haha, the reason why I asked you to close the gate for my father ten days ago is to confuse Liu Qi. There are many people who know about my father's character in Changsha, but they can't get out of the city now. How can they tell Liu Qi?" Zhang Xian smiled.
"Father is wise." Only then did Zhang Yi know why Zhang Xian asked him to close the city gate so early. I couldn't help admiring my father even more.
"How should my father deal with those people in Huang Zhong? On the surface, these people are respectful to their father. In fact, they are secretly exposed to their father's ideas, and their father has to guard against it. I'm also tired of Huang Zhong and Zhang Yi. If it hadn't been for them, they would have been able to control some military power.
"No hurry, several of their families are in my hands. They can't make a big wave. Isn't it happy to send them to the battlefield for my father and let Liu Qi fight each other tomorrow? This is the end of the fight against me." Zhang Xian laughed.
At the same time, Huang Zhong and Yang Ling gathered here in Han Xuanfu.
"This Xian will definitely ask me to fight with Mr. Liu Qi tomorrow. What can you do?" Han Xuan opened his mouth first. Now Han Xuanfu is also heavily guarded, which is to guard against Zhang Xian's surveillance.
"This envy is so abominable. Why don't I kill that envy directly?" Yang Ling couldn't help saying that she had a hot temper.
Han Xuan looked at Yang Ling and shook his head. Yang Ling was his subordinate. He was good at everything but had a bad temper. Han Xuan looked at Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong sighed, "There's nothing I can do. Although this envy is hateful, it has caught our weakness."
Han Xuan was silent for a while and said, "I have a way. I don't know if it's workable?"
"What's the way?" Huang Zhong and Yang Ling asked at the same time.
"When we deal with Mr. Liu Qi tomorrow, we will tell Mr. Liu Qi about our situation and see if he can do anything?" Han Xuan said helplessly.
"If Zhang Xian knew this, wouldn't we be more dangerous?" Huang Zhong frowned and said.
"Now we can only bet. Sooner or later, Zhang Xian will kill us. If we win the bet, we may get out of danger. If we lose, we will just die a few days earlier." Han Xuandao.
Yang Ling was loyal to Han Xuan and Geng first said, "I listen to you." The two looked at Huang Zhong and waited for his decision.
"Okay. That's the only way." Huang Zhong nodded.
